Ingredients
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 1 x 300 g firm white fish fillet, cut into 2 equal-sized portions
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley leaves
- 1 tbsp capers, rinsed
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 60 ml (¼ cup) olive oil
- 2 round crispy rolls, sliced in half
- 2 tsp sumac
- ¼ red onion, sliced
- 1 large tomato, thickly sliced
- 2 large handfuls shredded iceberg lettuce
Freshly grilled fish served with a lemon and caper dressing and plenty of sumac. It takes a warm summer’s day to the next level.
Instructions
Tip the flour into a shallow bowl and season well with salt and pepper. Dredge the fish fillets in the flour, coating
thoroughly. Dust off any excess and set aside.
Make a simple dressing by combining the parsley, capers, garlic and lemon juice in a small jar. Season well with salt
and pepper, then put the lid on and shake vigorously until well combined.
Heat 3 tbsp of the oil in a heavy-based frying pan over medium–high heat. Add the fish and cook for 5–6 minutes. Flip the fish over and cook for a further 2–3 minutes or until cooked through and flaking in the middle. Remove from the heat and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
Heat a griddle pan over high heat. Drizzle the remaining oil over the cut sides of the bread then place, cut side down, in the pan. Place a plate on top to encourage a few chargrill marks. Once toasted, turn the bread 90° and cook until you have a sexy fishnet-stocking pattern on the insides of your bread.
Sprinkle the sumac over the griddled bread and place the fish on the bottom halves. Top with a little of the dressing
then add the red onion, tomato and shredded lettuce. Finish with another drizzle of dressing and pop the lids on.
Eat immediately. With Prosecco.
